My 6 year old getting himself messy before school would you judge this as a fellow mum on the school run

The start of week I hadn’t notice he’d gotten something down himself from his bike it was a weird white liquid I tried to get it off him at the school. The other mums spoke to my little boy and saw it On his grey jumper it was like white patches on it

then today on his bike I notice he’d put his socks inside out. He dresses himself mostly and I do his buttons. When he’s on his bike too you can see a gap between his trousers and shoes but standing they fit him I really hope it doesn’t look like his trousers don’t fit properly

other than that he’s always got his hair cut, his clothes are clean and fit it’s just him getting himself messy before school even starts
as a fellow mum would you judge this?

I think you are overthinking this.

I think it is great that a 6 year old is dressing himself and I would expect there to be a gap between his shoes and trousers when he's on his bike.

Nah, I wouldn’t judge I’d assume the white was toothpaste, the inside out socks anybody can do and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid!

Do you notice whether another child has his socks on inside out?!
I turned up to work with odd shoes on one day - I really wouldn't notice if someone else's kid had toothpaste down their jumper!!

Honestly, I wouldn't judge the trousers being a tad short but I would judge a kid coming into school in morning in a dirty jumper. Sorry. I have 3 primary kids and it's pretty easy to grab a fresh jumper.

Not in the least.
